In Debt - With a Duty to Perform

In Debt

to the Believer and the Unbeliever

“Both to Greeks and to barbarians

(to the cultured and the uncultured),

both to the wise and to the foolish,

I have an obligation to discharge, and a duty to perform,

and a debt to pay."

Romans 1:14 (Amp)

I am in debt – not to this world system but to the believers and unbelievers that live in this world, in debt to share the Christ in me.

I am crucified with Christ; it’s no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me. As a believer, a child of God, a joint heir with Christ, as a carrier of the Christ in me, I am in debt to you and to the unbeliever. Rather you be rich or poor, cultured or uncultured, I am obligated to tell you about the good news of Jesus Christ, to let you in on what is yours through a surrendered life to Christ, through embracing the work of the cross, through the victory that He has accomplished for you and for me over 2000 years ago. I’m compelled to tell others who it is that lives in me and what it is that He did for me and can do for them.

Christ set me free from the bondages of this world, from its greedy, idolatry, materialistic and controlling nature. He forgave my sins, canceled my debt, and brought me into a life surrendered to His service, a life protected and provided for by His hand, a life led, guided, and empowered by His Holy Spirit. He gave me purpose and vision and led my steps through fiery trials to test me and strengthen me for service.

When I was yet dead in my sins and in the uncircumcision of my flesh (still in my sinful and carnal nature) God made me alive together with Christ, having freely forgiven me of my sin. He canceled my debt and took the note with all its legal decrees and demands that stood against me, and He took it out of the way and nailed it to the cross, and then He disarmed rulers and authorities, powers of fear, lack, insecurity, doubt and unbelief, and He made a bold and a public display out of them by His triumphing over them through Him on the cross. (Col. 2:13-15) God took care of my enemies for me.

From the very beginning God had a plan and a purpose and a destiny for me that no devil in hell could stop if I would just embrace by faith what His Son Jesus did for me. So I did and His purpose and plan began to unfold for me. As I embraced the work of the cross, it released the power of the truth to be released and activated in my life. His life by His Spirit is my very breath that I breathe in daily.

Now, by His grace, He is making me debt-free to this world's system, but I Am IN DEBT to the world, to you and to those that don’t know the truth. For my freedom came from Christ, and it’s Christ that came to set us free. Therefore I must share the truth of God’s Word with you, for you shall know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free.

It’s Christ in me, the hope of glory, called according to His purpose, appointed by His grace. I didn’t choose Him, but He chose me and appointed me, that I should bear fruit and that my fruit should remain and that whatever I asked the Father in His Name, He would do it for me.

He chose me to live out a life in Christ, a life empowered by His Holy Spirit, a life that would magnify and glorify Jesus Christ to the world. Before I was born, when I was still in my mother’s womb, He knew me and called me, appointed me for service, set me apart for a divine work and assignment in the earth, one that I would not know for years to come. But before the foundation of the earth, He predestined me for this work and this assignment that He had prepared beforehand that I should walk in. And along with this assignment, He provided for me all the tools and equipment I would need to carry it out. He gave me the direction, the wisdom, the strength, the grace, the teachers, the anointing and everything I would need to accomplish and complete it.

First came the drawing and calling (the answering and surrendering), then came the purifying and equipping (the fire and the testing), then came the commissioning and empowering (the assignment and the anointing), and then the sealing and the sending out. The years in the wilderness of testing, purifying and preparation are by far the hardest, but they are the most rewarding, for it’s there that the old man and the old nature are truly crucified, changed and conformed and brought forth into the new man, molded, shaped, yielded and equipped for his destiny.

God has a plan, a system, a way He works in all of our lives to bring us out of ourselves and into His divine nature and plan. He uses everything in our lives to mold and shape and equip us, to discipline and mature us for the greater work that He has created us for. The degree of our yieldedness and obedience effects the length of time spent in the wilderness. Surrender early and consistently. Yield to the work of the Master’s hand that you may be the vessel of honor and blessing that you were created to be, that you may grow and shorten your time in the wilderness, reaching your Promised Land more quickly.

Each one of you is designed for a unique and predetermined work and assignment in the kingdom of God. God’s created you with a purpose and a destiny that is unique to you, that will glorify Him and that will bring redemption to this world. No matter what age you are, your life’s purpose and destiny is hidden with Christ in God as well. It’s hidden with your life IN Christ. As you embrace Jesus, a life crucified and dead to sin, a life dead to selfishness and to this world’s system and its self-centered ways, you will begin to uncover and discover who you really are and what you were created for. It’s already there for you, but it’s found through a life that embraces the cross, that feeds on the Word and that’s filled with the Spirit. It’s a journey of discovery, a journey of transformation, a journey of love – finding and discovering the love of the Father through the love of His Son, Jesus, by the working of His Holy Spirit that transforms you and that will transform the world, one person, one family, one church, one city and one nation at a time.

Discover God’s love. The entries found in this blog are words given by the Holy Spirit, walked out on the stepping stones of His Word, and shared prayerfully that you may discover His love, and that your life may be transformed into His image and into who and what you’ve been created for. Enjoy the journey. I pray as you read and pray through these blog entries that you will be enriched and blessed so that you may be a blessing and an instrument of His grace and wisdom to others.

Hidden in Christ

"I am crucified with Christ; it's no longer I who live but Christ (The Redeemer, The Deliverer, The Healer, The Anointed One) that lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."
Galatians 2:20

"My Determined Purpose""For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in some way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death."Phil 3:10 Amp

Jesus Alone Is Worthy

Holy Desperation

O God, Thou art my God, I shall seek Thee earnestly;My soul thirsts for Thee,My flesh yearns for Thee,In a dry and weary land where there is no water.Thus I have beheld Thee in the sanctuary,To see Thy power and Thy glory.Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life,My lips will praise Thee.So I will bless Thee as long as I live;I will lift up my hands in Thy name. Psalm 63:1-4

**********************************

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirst for God, for the living God.Ps 42:1,2*********************************

"One thing I have asked from the Lord that I shall seek:That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,To behold the beauty of the Lord,And to meditate in His temple."Psalm 27:4********************************

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.....Ps 23:6

The God of All Grace!

"Who are you, O great mountain? (of lack, debt and poverty) "You shall become a plane......with shouts of 'Grace, grace to it!" (Zechariah 4:7 ) "May the Lord, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times more than you are, and bless you just as He promised you." (Deut 1:11)

Life Agents

"And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet."

(Romans's 16:20)

There is an assignment that God has given in this last hour, "Operation: Free the Bride". It's an assignment to destroy debt and release finances in the Body and Bride of Christ. It's an assignment to pay the debt that we owe to this world as believers, as children of God, to BE the manifestation of the sons of God. And in this assignment God is recruiting Life Agents, men and women of God full of the Holy Spirit that will crush the head of the devil, the spirit of death that has been sucking the life out of His people, out of their finances, their bodies, their families, and their marriages. He is raising up and recruiting Agents of His Life Spirit that will lift up their hearts, their arms and their hands to the God of Life and say, "Anoint me with LIFE!", then taking a deep breath of the Spirit and with a new resolve they will crush the head of the devil with their heel; they will crush debt, lack and poverty, they will crush fear, doubt and unbelief, they will crush discouragement, sickness and infirmity and every demon that has tormented them. And then with a new faith and a new resolve they will go forth into their homes, their workplaces, and their cities and they will be a blessing of LIFE, for it is Jesus, the God of Life, that has blessed us that we may be a blessing.

God is recruiting Life Agents that know their God, that know who they are in Christ, and that will go forth in the power of the Spirit and take the land, take back that which has been stolen from them. He is recruiting Life Agents that know the power of the abiding life, that know how to abide in the shadow of the Almighty, how to rest in His presence and how to draw upon the anointing. He is recruiting Life Agents that see the life potential in the down-and-out, the outcast, and the one that's given up on life, Life Agents that will be His vehicle and agent to infuse and give new hope and LIFE to the weak and the defeated, that will be His agent and hand of healing and compassion.

Jesus came to give life and give it abundantly. It's no longer we that live but Christ that lives in us. WE are His Life Agents. WE are His agents of life and blessing. Lift up your heart, your hands and arms to the God of Life and say, "Anoint me with LIFE!". Then go into your day and bless someone. Be the blessing you were created to be. You are blessed to be a blessing.

Kingdom Transference of Wealth

"The wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous."(Prov. 13:22)

I take my position in the Kingdom through Christ Jesus, and I stand in the authority that has been given to me through His name, the name above all names, the name of Jesus by which every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord.

In His name and by His authority I take ownership of this kingdom of the lottery, for "the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ". I take ownership of it and I bring it into the Kingdom of God, under the lordship of Jesus Christ, and under the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Through the authority in Christ Jesus, I channel and guide this wealth of the wicked into the hands of Kingdom believers, into hands of givers, tithers and those that will be good stewards with Kingdom vision and Kingdom hearts. I dispatch angels, ministering spirits, to encamp around these recipients to protect them and to guide them in their stewardship. I apply the blood of Jesus over their lives and redeem them back into their full Kingdom position and purpose. I take captive their thoughts and bring them into the obedience of Jesus Christ, and I cast down every vain imagination and every high and lofty thought that would exalt itself over the true knowledge of God and that would misalign itself with the perfect will of God. I draw from that Kingdom anointing and release it into these peoples lives that the Kingdom of God would be established in their hearts and lives just as it is in heaven.

I call these recipients to begin to move in the arena of debt cancellation, to begin to receive in their hearts and in their spirit the desire to see families and churches debt free, to begin to release that financial grace gift that has been extended to them, and to be that hand of the Lord that redeems these families out of debt and into a place of new beginning. I release a spirit of generosity and giving into their lives. I release a spirit that recognizes the blessing of the Lord upon their lives so that they may be a blessing. I draw their hearts and spirit to this ministry and to this vision and impart to them the very heart of the Lord through it. And I pray it be received in the very same spirit in which it was written and shared. Amen and amen.

"My House is Crippled"

"For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,Now I will arise, (The Redeemer, The Deliverer, The Healer).I will set him in the safety for which he has yearned."(Psalm 12:5)

The Lord said, "My house is crippled and out of order in their finances. I am releasing My grace to bring healing and health and strength to this area. My house will be debt-free and financially sound, generously giving to those in need. When people come into My house from being out in the world they will receive forgiveness and healing for their finances. They will receive mercy, instruction and wisdom in the way that My kingdom operates. Their lives will completely turn around when they give it all to Me. They will learn a new way of thinking and living, because My kingdom operates on opposite principles from the world. I am drawing them into My house and freeing them from the entanglements of the world, from idolatry, materialism and greed. I am putting My heart into them and revealing My will to them. I am redeeming them back to their kingdom purpose and destiny.My house will be a glorious house. It will be healthy both physically and financially, and the world will know that I am alive and living in My people and in My house."

"Judgment begins in the house of the Lord."We must examine ourselves, our hearts, our motives, our habits, and our behaviors. Are we kingdom people living for the King and the kingdom?As we truly begin to seek the King and the kingdom first we will begin to get a kingdom mindset, and our motives, thoughts and actions will be directed in that way.
